So there you have it. The second batch of seven makers of all things awesome. Expect young folk in lovely frocks hanging out in the kitchen, hot-hued odd-toed ungulates, a man walking his bearopus, Sokkuan nibbling at her Kuih-muih artwork, and more. Now guzzle your morning energy drink, put your feet up, and surrender to 31 pages of visual pleasure. You’re welcome.

“I launched my jade collection in a continuation of my mission to make
the traditional cultural icon more accessible. I wanted to continue the
jade theme for 2011 and thus responded with pushing the design
envelope further – this time with leafy vine themes in line with the
United Nation’s International Year of Forests.” - Choo Yilin.

KHAIRULLAH RAHIM
” Since you last featured me, I guess I’ve made some decent progress
… haha. I have been part of numerous exhibitions and art fairs, both
local and abroad. I have been featured on the news and in magazines,
and I have also managed to bag some awards. Overall, my paintings
have been well received, and I sold most of them.“ - Khairullah Rahim.

“I’ve been trying to escape the brutal 9-to-5, roamin' the gloamin'
whenever I can. In late 2010, I spent a month backpacking through
London and Scotland - painted a mural for the Edinburgh international
art fest, shared inks and sketchbooks with traveling artists from around
the world. Last December, I rode my motorcycle to Northern Thailand
and back - clocking the best 7000 km of my life, filled with bizarre and
beautiful people and places. Chasing down new horizons keeps my
sense of wonder thrillingly alive; keeps the art fresh and inspired.“ –
Cherie Tan.

KRISTAL MELSON & ERIC FOENANDER
“Eric & I had been talking about working on projects together for some
time. I really liked and admired the stuff he was putting out, so when
the chance to collaborate with each other came up, we were stoked.
Our friends from Sixx asked us individually to create some artwork for
them, and we thought it would be awesome to work on a piece
together. We are really happy with how things turned out, so expect
more from us!” – Kristal Melson.

LIM SHENGEN
“Since my solo in 2009 with the ‘Boxed Series’ which you featured on
Culturepush, the work has traveled to Laos for the 2nd international
Image Biennale 2010. My work focus also shifted to installations
revolving around light. My ‘Camera Obscura (2011)’ Videologue was on
display at the Beijing Sunshine International Museum. I was also
invited to participate in the 2011 M1 Singapore Fringe Festival with my
work ‘Void: Utopia’, and my ’Christmas Tree’ installation was on show
at the Art Science Museum.” – Lim Shengen.

“My latest project would be the “Kuih-muih Lucky Charm”, which was
shown at Cutlog Paris and at Open House Occupy in Tiong Baru. I also
started a new series just for fun. It's called Sadako's Unfashionable
Fashion Diary which is not really about fashion. I hope to achieve at
least 100 posts in the blog. As an extension to this project, I have
collaborated with another creative –Mo- on a project called “Piratable
Narcissism”. Mo created a series of multi-functional scarves and got
Sadako to model them. The project was featured on
designyoutrust.com. Anyways, these are just some spontaneous, fun,
random projects ... I hope you like them.“ – Sokkuan Tye.
